I take my hat off to anyone trying to "play Pep" in FM with Barca's tactic; a tactic that exists only on paper and before kick off. Because Barca doesn't have a tactic, they have a system.
The $64 million dollar question is: how do you replicate a system which is based upon movement on and off the ball, 1-2 touches, high pressing, 3-4 passing lines and above all positional compensation in defensive and attacking organisational phase.
(Hence the appearance of not only the false 9 -Messi-but the false 2-Dani Alves-or false DM-Busquets-or false LW-David Villa)
How do you replicate all this with a Match Engine that refuse to leave its pre-historic infancy, while tools to give it a high quality jump to a modern era have been around for a while.
So, to all of you, keep up your "labour of love". Take a bow son, HAT OFF...
